Driver Improvement Clinic

National Safety Council 8 Hour Defensive Driving Course

DMV Certified/Court Approved

The National Safety council in-person course is accepted in all 50 states. We notify the Virginia DMV electronically of your successful completion but you will also get a paper certificate to give to the court.

Affordable

We keep costs low, and therefore, prices competitive. The cost is $90, but you  can get a $15 prepay discount for registering more than 24 in advance, which brings the total price down to $75.

Convenient Scheduling

The 8 hour in-person classes are offered every Saturday beginning at 8am. If Saturdays don’t work with your schedule, you can check out our online course.

Who should take this course?

If you received a speeding ticket or have too many negative driving points, this course is for you! Colonial Driving School offers a DMV Certified 8-hour Driver Improvement Clinic to teach Defensive Driving to students who have been referred to driving school by the DMV or the court system, or individuals who just want to get points taken off their licenses. Students can take the class as a volunteer every two years and get up to 5 safe-driving points, and they can take it more often if the courts/DMV require it.
